520    "After the Communist Revolution, Desmond Shum's 
       grandfather was marked as belonging to a "black category" 
       that included former landlords and rich peasants--meaning 
       the Shums would be stigmatized and impoverished. As 
       Desmond was growing up, he vowed his life would be 
       different.  Through hard work and sheer tenacity Shum 
       earned an American college degree and returned to China to
       establish himself in business. There, he met his future 
       wife, the highly intelligent and equally ambitious Whitney
       Duan who was determined to make her mark within China's 
       male-dominated society. Whitney and Desmond formed an 
       effective team and, aided by relationships they formed 
       with top members of the red aristocracy, vaulted into 
       China's billionaire class. Soon they were developing the 
       massive air cargo facility at Beijing International 
       Airport, and they followed that feat with the creation of 
       one of Beijing's premier hotels. They were dazzlingly 
       successful, traveling in private jets, funding multi-
       million-dollar buildings and endowments, and purchasing 
       expensive homes, vehicles, and art.  But in 2017, their 
       fates diverged irrevocably when Desmond, while residing 
       overseas with his son, learned that his now ex-wife 
       Whitney had vanished along with three coworkers.  This is 
       both Desmond's story and Whitney's, because she cannot 
       tell it herself."---Amazon.
